Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

When Ron and Harry returned to the dormitory, they unexpectedly discovered that there was a fluorescent light next to Mikel's bed.

The two looked at each other, neither of them knowing why Mikel was still not asleep so late.

They walked lightly and quietly went to their beds.

Suddenly, Mikel's voice came: "I woke up suddenly and found that you two were not there. It was late at night. What were you doing outside?"

The two turned their heads and saw that Mikel's face was hidden in the fluorescent light.

It was dark around him and the fluorescent light was too weak to illuminate his entire face.

Half of his face was blurred in the darkness, making him look a little weird.

Ron lowered his voice and said, "This is none of your business, Mikel."

Mikel said calmly in a normal tone: "Of course it's my business. What if you get caught for a night out and lose points for the Gryffindor House Cup?
I spent so much effort to make our house go from the last to the second to last, and we are about to catch up with the second-placed Ravenclaw. I don't want it to be ruined because of you."

Harry explained, "Don't worry. We go out for formal reasons, not for night outings. The professor knows what we are doing, but I can't tell you the details."

Mikel looked at him: "Don't you want to say it, or can't you say it?"

Ron frowned and said angrily, "Mikel, what do you mean by that? We have already told you what we can say!"

Mikel raised his chin and said provocatively, "I thought you were afraid that I would steal your limelight, so you deliberately didn't tell me those good things. If it's something you can't tell, I apologize to you."

Ron's expression did not relax, instead he looked at him even more strangely.

“I don’t know what happened to you, but you’ve been acting very strangely this week. You never used this tone when talking to us before.

Mikel, is there something wrong with your family? Or are you in a bad mood recently?

If you need help, we have some tips for relaxing. ”

At first, he was very jealous when Mikkel showed talent in Transfiguration and potion making.

But when a person becomes more and more outstanding, to the point where he or she cannot be caught up with, the jealousy turns into envy.

The way Ron looked at Mikkel now was no different from the way he looked at Hermione.

He'll never be able to catch up with them anyway.

In addition, Mikel added a lot of points to Gryffindor's house cup this week and became a great contributor to Gryffindor, so every little wizard in Gryffindor was kind to him.

Even Ron is no exception.

But even so, it cannot be denied that Mikel has been a little abnormal in the past week.

Normally, the classes were fine and Mikel was well-mannered and approachable.

But only when they were together in private, especially in the dormitory, he always looked at them with a gloomy look.

Oh, this look doesn't include Neville.

He was still very nice to Neville, but he couldn't help but become more and more arrogant.

Mikel seemed to realize something for the first time. The expression on his face suddenly became very ugly and the blood color gradually disappeared.

His already pale face looked even paler.

Mikel quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I've been in a bad mood recently. I will try my best to adjust my state."

He turned off the fluorescent light, lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

Mikel kept calling the system in his heart.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have never seen the system again since he merged the memories of the Death Eaters.

Especially last time, after surviving the crisis in Snape's office, his talents were upgraded and he became more and more adept at using the system, without any need to use it.

So until now, he has never taken the initiative to contact the system!

Being reminded by Ron at this time, he also realized that something was wrong with his condition.

Sometimes people fall into a "barrier of true knowledge". The more they are in the situation, the harder it is to see through the situation.

Now thinking back carefully, this abnormal state had already appeared when the memories were being integrated.

Mikel's forehead was covered with sweat. He couldn't understand why he was so eager to prove his ability to the professor and why he had to stand out in class.

Given his personality, this is not something he would do!
He was startled and his body trembled a little. He suspected that the memories of the Death Eaters were quietly changing his personality!

"System, where are you? Come out quickly, I need your help!"

"System, I need your help."

"system……"

He didn't know how long he called out, but as Mikel became more and more nervous, a faint ding-dong sound finally rang in his mind.

【Ding dong! 】

[Congratulations to the host for seeing through the barrier and breaking away from the negative influence of the Death Eater's memory]

[Because the host has escaped from the maze by his own ability, the host's magical talent has been slightly improved]

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking more memories of Death Eaters. Would you like to check the part about the mysterious man in the Death Eaters' memories with the help of the system? ]

The system finally came out, and Mikel was certain, but his thoughts were also in a mess.

What maze?
What are the negative effects?
Rely on your own ability to get rid of it? ?
Mikel did not answer the system's question, but asked: "If I don't get rid of the negative influence by my own ability, what will I become? Will you wake me up at the last critical moment?"

[This is a maze that fate has arranged for the host. The host must overcome it personally. The system cannot solve it.]

That means there is no way to wake me up.

Mikel asked again: "If I can't free myself from negative influences, what will I become in the end?"

[It is highly likely that someone will discover that you are being disturbed by the evil god's whispers, and then be imprisoned in a dark tower without sunlight. When you are completely conscious, the system will be activated again. The host does not need to worry.]

Mikel's mouth twitched.

What the hell is the Black Tower?

It doesn’t look like a good place at first glance!

He asked the Black Tower again, but the system no longer answered.

Mikel had no choice but to recall the key information revealed by the system.

He used to think that the system was too omnipotent, and that with the system in place, his path would become smooth.

As a result, he now discovered that the system also had problems that could not be solved.

There are some difficulties that he must solve.

Mikael thought cautiously, fortunately he has been in Hogwarts and the professors trust him more. Even though his personality has changed drastically and his talent has increased rapidly, they still choose to believe in him.

But it was more likely that they did not notice that he was affected by the evil god's whispers. After all, when he was questioned, his thinking was very clear, which was very different from that of ordinary aliens.

Mikel gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart.

"Damn Death Eaters! As expected, this world has been changed by the so-called evil god world, and it is gradually becoming different from the original novel.

The reason why Voldemort became so powerful was that he joined the evil god's side!
Not only did he surrender himself, he also asked his subordinates to surrender as well, causing me to be infected by the power of the evil god when I was absorbing the memory."

Mikel suddenly thought that the professor did not notice his abnormality at the first time, maybe the system concealed some of his aura.

But covering up can only be temporary, not forever.

As he becomes more and more active, his aura will definitely leak out.

By that time, he might not be able to stay in Hogwarts and would have to go to the so-called Black Tower to be supervised for several years.

Mikel let out a long breath, that was a close call!

He was also very worried. This test came without any warning, leaving him no way to prepare.

What will he do if he comes again next time?
He thought again about what the system said, whether he wanted to check the memory about the mysterious man.

Mikel thought about it, shook his head slowly, and looked cautious.

No, now is not the time to check, he has to be fully prepared.
-
"Keep your current posture and recall a happy scene in your heart. That scene should be with many people and your emotions should be complicated...

It's not enough to have just pure happiness, it has to be mixed with two or three emotions. The more emotions there are, the greater the power.

Remember, emotions must form a positive response, that is, there must be positive power, warmth, happiness, excitement, excitement, and touching... Then slowly let this complex emotion flow along your arms and wave out the Patronus spell! "

At noon the next day, they did not go to the laboratory, but instead went to Professor Lupin for special training on the Patronus Charm again.

Originally, the Patronus Charm was to be learned once a week on the weekends.

But Lin Xia felt that this way of learning was too slow, so she decided to go to see Professor Lupin when she was free, if Professor Lupin was available.

The more they interacted with Professor Lupin, the more they felt how good this professor was to them.

After hearing their purpose, I readily agreed and was willing to practice with them.

Another training session was over, and the little wizards' hands were a little sore from waving their wands, but they still couldn't get the slightest feeling for the Patronus Charm.

Professor Lupin reminded them: "When you have free time, you should think more about it and practice more. There is nothing wrong with the posture of swinging the stick. The most important thing is the emotion.

The Patronus Charm is the power of emotion. It materializes the power of emotion. The emotional power of a strong person is very strong. "

Ron suddenly asked, "Professor, since the Patronus Charm represents the power of happiness, which is a positive force, does that mean that negative and dark emotions can also be transformed into a powerful force?"

Professor Lupin said calmly: "Your guess is correct. For example, the Dementors you have encountered before are a combination of negative emotions and the power transformed from negative emotions.

There is also Obscurus. After the little wizard has magic power, he cannot control his emotions, and becomes panicky and afraid. If he is not careful, he will turn into Obscurus. The power of Obscurus is also very strong.

There is another force that you are also familiar with, and that is black magic.

Every black magic must be driven by malice, which is also a kind of emotion. The more powerful the black magic, the stronger the malice required.

Therefore, not every young wizard can learn the dark magic. A wizard who is too upright cannot learn the dark magic because he cannot draw out the evil hidden in his heart. "

The other little wizards left the office with educated expressions on their faces.

Lin Xia did not leave but stayed where she was. She had some questions to ask the professor.

After everyone else had left, she said, "Professor Lupin, about the Patronus Charm—"

Before she could finish her words, Professor Lupin interrupted:
"Lin Xia, I know what you are worried about, don't worry, you have an excellent talent for magic.

Don't doubt yourself, you must have the talent to learn the Patronus Charm!"

He said these words sonorously and forcefully.

Lupin explained: "In fact, any wizard with a good talent for Transfiguration can basically learn the Patronus Charm.

Don't underestimate your talent for Transfiguration. It is a rare talent, and your Transfiguration skills far exceed those of many adult wizards."

Lin Xia said in distress: "If I am really talented and can learn the Patronus Charm, then why can't I find my form? I have tried very hard to recall those complex and positive suggestions."

It must be said that this was the first hurdle she encountered in learning spells.

In the past, she had never had such difficulty learning other spells. Even when learning black magic, she was able to channel malice into it and use black magic with great destructive power.

Why can't the Patronus Charm be removed?

Is it because I know black magic that I can't bring out the happy and kind memories hidden in my heart?

This is the question Lin Xia wanted to ask Professor Lupin.

Does knowing black magic conflict with learning the Patronus Charm?

But before she asked the question, Professor Lupin gave an answer from another perspective.

He thought for a moment and said, "I think it's still your emotional problem, Lin Xia. You're too calm, and being too calm will affect your outward expression of your emotions.

Happy memories are different from malicious ones, and happy emotions need to be mobilized in a more positive way.”

He gave some advice: "Why don't you try to be more outgoing, not so calm, and show more of your emotions on your face, maybe you can make a breakthrough."

Lin Xia looked thoughtful.

Professor Lupin looked at her and suddenly smiled: "I thought you would refute me. Calm emotions are also a kind of power, and it is also a positive force."

Lin Xia said, “I know this, Professor.

But I also understand that different emotions can exert different powers. Perhaps the emotion of happiness cannot be too calm, but should be an expression that is more inclined to the heart. "

Her eyes were calm, and her amber eyes were peaceful. "Professor, I may know what to do."

Lupin: "Hopefully, next week, I'll be able to see you perform the Patronus Charm."

This evening is an eventful one.

Harry and his friends had trouble learning the Patronus Charm, they couldn't find their way, and their night patrol was also a bit difficult.

They all heard a strange sound.

Fortunately, nothing strange had been discovered, so Harry and the others reported the sound that everyone had heard, and the professor went to check it out.

The professor on duty was Professor Sprout.

The professor examined it very carefully, but unfortunately found nothing.

When they left and returned to the common room, Ron, Harry and Hermione stood at the door of the common room and were surprised to find -

The Fat Lady is missing! (End of this chapter)
